Jews aren't limited to race. There are Caucasian Jews, Black Jews, Asian Jews, Native American Jews, et cetera. This is because Judaism accepts converts.

Jewish is a religion and an ethnicity. Even in Bible times the children of Israel intermarried with other races. (Moses had a Cushite wife Numbers 12:1) It would be difficult to say that definitely all Jews are any one nationality. Same as the rest of us. We all belong to the human race.

Where did you find this information, lol. Judaism is a religion and you will find Jewish people in every nation of the world, so I guess it is according to what country they are from.
The mayor of Dublin was Jewish, and I certainly believe he was white.
The Eastern European Jews are very fair skinned, and you have Jews from Holland, Denmark, mostly blonds.
80 percent of the movie industry is Jewish.
I really find this question funny, but you are probably thinking of Judaism as a race, and it is truly a religion.

No, its not true. As what many of the good people here have said Judaism is a religion, not a race. If i remember it right Israel send a number of planes (C-130) years back, to fetch the Ethiopian Jews (Ethiopians are black) becoz they want to go to the promised land Israel. Arabs, Turks, Iraqis and Iranians they are white people, but not as white as Europeans Caucasians. But they are not Jew they are Muslims. Color doesn't make a person, it's what inside him that makes him one. Good Luck and keep asking. Its nice to be back after those super typhoons that wreck havoc on us.

Jewish people are considered white. However, I have known Jewish people who do not consider themselves white - but feel that they are a separate race.
The simple answer to your question is, no.

Jewish people are Jewish. People should not be defined by the color of their skin.

Of course. That's why Hitler & Co. killed them like crazy, along with Gypsies and Slaves like Russians or Poles. Jews are more like Arabs - semitic.
